My 5 All Time Favourites For October 2011

Hi everyone, I am back and this month’s favourites consists of all new additions to my current stash. I guess from October, there will be a bit of shopping going on due to all the Christmas and Holiday collections releasing slowly.

First on the list is a replacement of my old brow gel. I have been using Urban Decay Urban Brow regularly and I like it. It does its job well. It took me a while to get used to the brush applicator as the ones I have used before are very similar to any ordinary mascara brush. This new brow gel from Urban Decay is clear and the brush provides firm and precise application. A reader requested for a post on how I do my brows, I shall include a more detailed write-up about this product.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade is probably one of the most longed after mineralize skinfinish when it first debut a few years ago. I don’t have the original version of it and I am not really a fan of them despite the beautiful veinings on most mineralize skinfinishes. Lightscapade, in the promotional pictures, look fabulous doesn’t it? But when I saw it in real life, it somehow lacks the appeal – the veinings look quite diluted. However, I really like the subtle sheen. I have been using it daily, under my brows, cheek bones and cupid’s bow – the result is lovely.

Lunasol Nail Finish in EX33 Shiny Gold is possibly my favourite gold glitter nail polish at the moment. It is gorgeous and it wears like iron. I had it on during my recent trip to Perth and it lasted so well, I am only beginning to spot some minor tip wear today. You can find some swatches here.

Next, I have the Chanel Top Coat Velvet on the list. Check out my thoughts and swatches about this awesome product here. If you are a fan of red nail polishes, watch them get a matte makeover here.

Last but not least, I am really liking Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 31 La Furtive. I bought another one, shall update on that once I have unpacked all my shoppings. I have a total of 5 Rouge Allure Velvets at the moment and if I have to choose one, it will be 31 La Furtive. I have swatched them in this post here. Finding nude lip colours for me can be such a task these days because I look dead 90% of the time with nude lips but I am liking this shade on me, at least, with a pair of smoky eyes, I still look alive?

I just got home and am down with a flu. Shall approve and reply all comments as soon as I can, including emails. Can’t wait to sort out the 1000+ photos I took in Perth and upload my shopping entries. I will also pick the winners for giveaway part 2 tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and support.

Joey, do you line ur lips when you are using Rouge Allure Velvet 31? My lips are much redder naturally. I find that when I use it, it tends to get a little uneven on my lips, like some parts pale and some redder (my lips color showing). Annoying!
